Europe is the world's second-smallest continent by surface area, covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000sqmi) or 2% of the Earth's surface and about 6.8% of its land area. Of Europe's approximately 50 countries, Russia is by far the largest by both area and population, taking up 40% of the continent (although the country has territory in both Europe and Asia), while Vatican City is the smallest. Europe is the third-most populous continent after Asia and Africa, with a population of 739–743million or about 11% of the world's population. Europe has a climate heavily affected by warm Atlantic currents, tempering winters and enabling warm summers on most of the continent, even on latitudes that have severe climates in North America and Asia. Further from the Atlantic, seasonal differences increase, but the mildness of the climate remains.

Mutual fund

A mutual fund is a professionally managed investment fund that pools money from many investors to purchase securities. While there is no legal definition of the term "mutual fund", it is most commonly applied only to those collective investment vehicles that are regulated and sold to the general public. They are sometimes referred to as "investment companies" or "registered investment companies". Hedge funds are not mutual funds, primarily because they cannot be sold to the general public.

Understanding

Understanding (also called intellection) is a psychological process related to an abstract or physical object, such as a person, situation, or message whereby one is able to think about it and use concepts to deal adequately with that object.
Understanding is a relation between the knower and an object of understanding. Understanding implies abilities and dispositions with respect to an object of knowledge sufficient to support intelligent behavior.

An understanding is the limit of a conceptualization. To understand something is to have conceptualized it to a given measure.

Examples

One understands the weather if one is able to predict (e.g. if it is very cloudy, it may rain) and/or give an explanation of some of its features, etc.

A psychiatrist understands another person's anxieties if he/she knows that person's anxieties, their causes, and can give useful advice on how to cope with the anxiety.

A person understands a command if he/she knows who gave it, what is expected by the issuer, and whether the command is legitimate, and whether one understands the speaker (see 4).

Mutual Security on Hold? Russia, the West, and European Security Architecture

This year, the Munich Security Conference celebrated its 50th anniversary. These fifty years of substantive dialogue on security cooperation have existed against a changing political backdrop -- from the tensions of the Cold War and the brutal conflict in the Western Balkans, to the attacks of September 11, 2001, the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the global "War on Terror." Mutual security and the transatlantic relationship are once again faced with challenges in the form of the crisis in Ukraine. What does this crisis mean for mutual security, and how will it affect the security architecture in Europe? The Wilson Center brings together this distinguished panel to discuss these issues, as well as the recent anniversary volume: "Towards Mutual Security: Fifty Years of Munich Security Conference."

This lecture will explore how and why most economic theory still fails to grasp the central characteristics of industrial innovation, illustrated with respect to energy and climate change, and what this implies for policy.

GHRF 2009: Mutual Recognition of Qualification in the Dimension of Globalization

EuropeanCountries and APEC member nations have established a qualification framework that recognizes a qualification obtained in each country. Europe already built and announced its European Qualification Framework (EQF) in 2009. This system will connect EQF with National Qualification Framework (NQF) until 2010. In 2012, Europe will execute EQF. Still, the qualification framework is limited to some qualifications centered on national skill qualification and is not approved in all European countries. We will review the common qualification system that is adapted to Asia-Pacific regions and countries as well by considering the important issues about qualification frameworks in Europe and how to improve them.

Empire In The Pre-Industrial World - Professor Richard J Evans

The first lecture in the series looks at the initial expansion of Europe, from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century.
It explores the great empires established by the British, Dutch, French, Ottomans, Portuguese, Russians and Spanish, and looks at their origins, their growth, and their mutual rivalries. It examines how these empires were ruled, the role of slavery in their establishment and administration, and their impact on the peoples they colonized.
To a degree these were 'mercantilist empires', extending European patterns of control to overseas territories and confining them to a particular, limited role as recipients of European manufactures and providers of raw materials on which to base it. Trade restrictions imposed by the colonizing powers were increasingly resented by emerg...

A Honeymoon that Never Was: The Chilly State of US-Russia Relations

According to a recent Council survey, 46 percent of Russians and 62 percent of Americans thought the US leadership change would herald an era of warmth, camaraderie, and collaboration. Though the new administration is now well-into its second year, the relationship has barely shifted towards lukewarm. Both countries’ national security documents continue listing the other as an enemy, and government officials on each side diagnose the state of affairs an “all-time low” since the Cold War. With renewed sanctions and collusion-related indictments dominating the news cycle, what lies in store for the future of the Trump-Putin relationship? While wrought in opposition and disagreement, what can history teach us about the necessity of cooperation and mutual understanding between the two nations?...

9. Demographic Transition in Europe

GlobalProblems of PopulationGrowth (MCDB 150)
Prior to the Demographic Transition, fertility in northwestern Europe was controlled by limiting marriage. Marriage was regulated by landowners and the churches, and was not allowed unless a man had accumulated the resources necessary to support a family. Long periods of being landless, a servant, or an apprentice, precluded marriage. Once married, there was no control of fertility. But, only about half of adults were married at any given time, so fertility was about half of what it might have been. Eventually, contraception was accepted and fertility within marriage fell. Society no longer needed to control marriage so tightly and marriage rates rose dramatically. The options of marriage, sex and childbearing passed from community control...

In fact, that’s exactly what Warren Buffett recommends and is doing himself.
On page 20 of The 2013Berkshire HathawayAnnualReport to Shareholders (PDF), he talks about how he is allocating 90% of his estate for his heirs to be invested in the S&P500 index fund – and that’s what he recommends to the average investor.
======================
What This MeansFor You
Warren Buffett’s favorite investing strategy can be essentially boiled to a few key takeaways:
1) Buy a low-cost index fund – either through ETFs such as SPY or VOO — or directly with Vanguard.
2) Buy in pieces over a period of time (dollar-cost-averaging)
3) Hold.
In his annual report, Buffett specifically recommends the Vanguard S&P500 Index Fund.

The fertility decline occurred very rapidly in Europe, mostly between 1870 and 1930. It has been difficult to prove a socioeconomic basis for the decline. The largest study, The PrincetonEuropeanFertilityProject, argued that cultural transmission of new social norms was crucial. The Demographic Transition encompassed a ten-fold increase in population, a three-fold increase in life expectancy. It drastically changed the human experience of life.

The Demographic Transition encompassed a ten-fold increase in population, a three-fold increase in life expectancy. It drastically changed the human experience of life.

The European Fund for Strategic Investments

Years of crisis have posed a threat to Europe’s potential for innovative growth and dulled our competitive edge. Competitiveness relies on investment. In Europe, good projects currently struggle to find investment. Money is available in the system but economic uncertainly stops many investors from taking risks. The InvestmentPlan for Europe is putting our money back to work – for the benefit of all Europeans.

Russia-Europe: mutual challenges

We will talk about burning issues of mutual concern for Russia and Europe. These issues ra...

Europe is the world's second-smallest continent by surface area, covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000sqmi) or 2% of the Earth's surface and about 6.8% of its land area. Of Europe's approximately 50 countries, Russia is by far the largest by both area and population, taking up 40% of the continent (although the country has territory in both Europe and Asia), while Vatican City is the smallest. Europe is the third-most populous continent after Asia and Africa, with a population of 739–743million or about 11% of the world's population. Europe has a climate heavily affected by warm Atlantic currents, tempering winters and enabling warm summers on most of the continent, even on latitudes that have severe climates in North America and Asia. Further from the Atlantic, seasonal differences increase, but the mildness of the climate remains.

Mutual Security on Hold? Russia, the West, and European Security Architecture

This year, the Munich Security Conference celebrated its 50th anniversary. These fifty years of substantive dialogue on security cooperation have existed against a changing political backdrop -- from the tensions of the Cold War and the brutal conflict in the Western Balkans, to the attacks of September 11, 2001, the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the global "War on Terror." Mutual security and the transatlantic relationship are once again faced with challenges in the form of the crisis in Ukraine. What does this crisis mean for mutual security, and how will it affect the security architecture in Europe? The Wilson Center brings together this distinguished panel to discuss these issues, as well as the recent anniversary volume: "Towards Mutual Security: Fifty Years of Munich Security Conference."

Warren Buffett's Best Investment Advice: Buy Index Funds

http://www.LifeStyleTrading101.com Warren Buffett is perhaps the most successful and celebrated investor of the 20th century and his results have only been getting better as he ages.
★☆★ VIEW THE BLOGPOST: ★☆★
http://www.lifestyletrading101.com/warren-buffetts-best-investment-advice-buy-index-funds/
===========================
Of course, that’s largely due to his ability to pick stocks that outperform the market.
But during his lifetime, the stock market has actually gone up quite a bit, despite the dot com and financial crisis.
Anyone who bought and hold would be doing quite well as well. You don’t necessarily need to pick the best stock winners.
Simply getting exposed to the overall market in a diversified manner would have given you solid returns over time.
In fact, that’s exactly what Warren Buffett recommends and is doing himself.
On page 20 of The 2013Berkshire HathawayAnnualReport to Shareholders (PDF), he talks about how he is allocating 90% of his estate for his heirs to be invested in the S&P500 index fund – and that’s what he recommends to the average investor.
======================
What This MeansFor You
Warren Buffett’s favorite investing strategy can be essentially boiled to a few key takeaways:
1) Buy a low-cost index fund – either through ETFs such as SPY or VOO — or directly with Vanguard.
2) Buy in pieces over a period of time (dollar-cost-averaging)
3) Hold.
In his annual report, Buffett specifically recommends the Vanguard S&P500 Index Fund.

GHRF 2009: Mutual Recognition of Qualification in the Dimension of Globalization

EuropeanCountries and APEC member nations have established a qualification framework that recognizes a qualification obtained in each country. Europe already built and announced its European Qualification Framework (EQF) in 2009. This system will connect EQF with National Qualification Framework (NQF) until 2010. In 2012, Europe will execute EQF. Still, the qualification framework is limited to some qualifications centered on national skill qualification and is not approved in all European countries. We will review the common qualification system that is adapted to Asia-Pacific regions and countries as well by considering the important issues about qualification frameworks in Europe and how to improve them.

Empire In The Pre-Industrial World - Professor Richard J Evans

The first lecture in the series looks at the initial expansion of Europe, from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century.
It explores the great empires established by the British, Dutch, French, Ottomans, Portuguese, Russians and Spanish, and looks at their origins, their growth, and their mutual rivalries. It examines how these empires were ruled, the role of slavery in their establishment and administration, and their impact on the peoples they colonized.
To a degree these were 'mercantilist empires', extending European patterns of control to overseas territories and confining them to a particular, limited role as recipients of European manufactures and providers of raw materials on which to base it. Trade restrictions imposed by the colonizing powers were increasingly resented by emerging colonial elites.
Most of the pre-industrial European empires collapsed with startling suddenness in the half-century from the mid-1770s to the mid-1820s, and the lecture concludes with a discussion of why this happened, and what remained afterwards.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:
http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/empire-in-the-pre-industrial-world
Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website.
